QuestionI have recently(today) started a 75 gal tank w/1 Tiger Oscar, 1 Red Osacar, and a Jack Dempsy. The Jack just seems to be hiding, the red is out and about more than either of the 2, and the Tiger is lying partially on his/her side most of the time as if it's dying. All of my water levels are reding fine. I'm mostly concerned w/the Tiger. The red swims around it sometimes making contact, but it doesn't appear hostile. Is my Tiger dying? Maybe adjusting to the new tank?
AnswerHi Jimmy,
Fish take a while (weeks) to adjust to a new tank.
Also, did you treat the water for chlorine and/or chloramine?
I'm assuming the water temperature is around 80oF, right?
